Gout: Do You Need To Suffer?

Gout: Do You Need To Suffer?

Gout is a painful disease, which mostly affects the older population. Men between the ages 40-50 have a greater risk of developing gout than women. In women, the risk increases after menopause.

It’s caused by too high uric acid levels in the blood; the uric acid aggregates in needle-like crystals in the joints and soft tissues. In the distressed joints, these crystals can provoke inflammatory arthritis.

2. Acute Gout Or Acute Gouty Arthritis – Uric acid crystals are deposited in the joint spaces. This can suddenly lead to inflammatory periods with swollen joints, intense pain, warmness and tenderness around the affected area. These attacks usually arise at night and subside within 3-10 days.

Drinking juice not only provides you the essential vitamins and minerals, but it can also help your body to eliminate toxins and uric acid. In addition, many plants have strong anti-inflammatory properties, which can help you to alleviate pain and inflammation.

Drink more juice daily. Here’s a recipe to help get you started.

Pineapple Turmeric Drink To Fight Gout

Ingredients:

2 tsp turmeric powder

1 medium pineapple

1 cup of tart cherry juice

1-inch fresh ginger root

Instructions:Put the flesh of the pineapple into a blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth. Store in a glass container in your fridge.

I’d recommend drinking a few ounces every day to prevent gout attacks. It’s also effective during the times when your joints are inflamed.

The tart cherry juice helps to reduce the uric acid in the blood. Turmeric’s active substance, curcumin, is a strong anti-inflammatory agent. Ginger and pineapple relieve inflammation and improve digestion.
